My A/C return grills clamps enough to close but the side clips end up bending and don’t hold the entire grill securely. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I hate that the grill sags from the sides a little.
Remove it to get a better look at it and do some bending and shaping with tool, like a pair of pliers.
Or replace it.
Those clamps are not very good.

Are there any beaches in Long Island, New York that has a barbecue grill? I would prefer it if the beaches aren’t really crowded, but any bbq beach in Long Island is fine. 
There is an area with barbecue grills at east end of Parking Field 6 at Jones Beach. It’s first come, first served, so the grills get taken fast.
Also take note: Field 6 is one the smallest of the Jones Beach’s parking fields, and gets filled very quickly. If you get there after 9:30 a.m. on Saturday or Sunday it’s likely to be full.

I have a propane BBQ grill that is Stainless Steel on the out side what would be the best product to clean the out side
I am a great fan of barkeepers friend but it is a bit of a light weight when it comes to a BBQ grill.
I would use quickleen-s which is much faster and removes burn and flame marks and restores minor scruffs and scratches over time. see http://www.steelcleaner.com for example

What other things are there that are small portable grill type things that are similar to the George Forman Grill ?
You can get pannini grills, sandwich grills or you can make your own by using a grill pan and putting a preheated cast iron pan on top.

There are so many new George Foreman type grills and panini grills out there right now. You should visit your local supermart and check them out! They are very reasonably priced! Or in my house we have a big flat grill pan that we use on the oven… It only cooks one side at a time though.

Fire does kill bacteria, but is it necessary to clean the grill every time.
And is cooking a barbecue expensive? Say like, every day? Or few times a week
Barbecue means low and slow over indirect heat as opposed to grilling over direct heat. The benefit of true barbecue is it will render tough cuts like brisket, pulled pork, ribs, etc, tender. These tough cuts are typically quite a bit cheaper although they are growing rapidly in popularity.
It is important to clean your grill as it is to clean anything you’re cooking with (barbecuing or otherwise). Its easiest to simply clean your grates while they’re still hot. Normally while waiting for the meat to rest I will clean the grill.

The other day it was working fine, putting out an orange flame that heated the entire grill. Today, even on "high," the flame is burning a low blue flame, like a pilot light, which obviously the outdoor grill doesn’t have. how do I fix this? Why is it doing this?
Two things that are possible. One your low on fuel. Second the pressure valve. If you turned the gas tank on and and a burner was turned on this would trigger a safety valve in the pressure regulator. Turn all burners off and also turn the tank off. Now turn on the tank and light the grill. If this fails. Turn everything off disconnect the tank, connect to the tank and see if this works. If this fails you might need to buy a new pressure regulator. Regards, Dale

I have some 1 inch thick twigs but I’m not sure if I should attempt a bonfire in my grill.
If u have a charcoal grill, just heat up the charcoal. Once the coals are gray, grill the marshmallow’s and brown over the heat.
If u have a gas grill, turn the heat to high and roast the marshmallow’s over the high heat, until brown.
Wood is not required if u are grilling the marshmallow’s.

I am having a barbecue tomorrow. So I was wondering if there are any other food I can grill. All I usually grill is chicken wings, hot dogs, ribs, and burgers, potatoes and corn. But really all there is is MEAT MEAT MEAT!!!! I am looking for new foods.
Also I don’t really like beef so I don’t eat the burgers unless they are turkey or chicken.
Just Saying, I hate muchrooms and olives.
Just about anything you can cook can be grilled.
Check and see if you can pick up a grill wok before the cook out. That will allow you to grill lots of extra foods and makes it much easier to grill for a group.
This week I put summer veggies (squash, green peppers, onions) and shrimp in my grill wok and served the food over rice. I also put chicken strips in the wok with taco seasoning to make fajitas with the wraps heated lightly on the grill.
